THE STORY OF STORIES! In the next number of the SATURDAY J OUR- NAL commences Buffalo Bill’s Great Romance, DEADLY EYE, ‘ The Unkngwn Scout; THE BRANDED imorussuoob. Of this work of the noted “ King of the Ro~ volver,” he writes: Masses. BEADLE AND Animus: GENTLEMEN:—-I beg to state regarding “ Deadly Eye, the Unknown Scout,” the serial you are now about issuing, that it is the very best attempt I have yet made at authorship. ,, Through the advice of a friend, once an army officer, I undertook to “ follow the trail” of Wild Western life with my pen, and the re- sult has certainly surprised me, and all of my friends who have read my productions. > But the fact is, I write most altogether from personal experience in Border life, and do not have to draw the long bow of imagination. With regard to “Deadly Eye,” the story is founded upon facts, and the characters in the story are taken from real life. Since my entering the literary arena, I have received numberless letters, which will excuse my vanity in saying that I am assured that “ Deadly Eye ” will prove a success. With respect, yours, , « WM. F. Conv. Founded upon fact! Taken from real life! ‘ I write from personal experience! This is the secret of the powerful impression the narrative produces. It leads the reader direct to the field; it introduces him to the very actors; it so infuses the wild interest of the incidents in the mind that the reader as it were ,- ' IEGDMES A PART OF THE STORY! Buffalo Bill does not “have to draw the long bow of Imagination,” for in his case truth is stranger than fiction. His life is full of ex- periences more exciting and astonishing than any more invention of the novice, and upon that store of experience he will draw in his contributions to these columns. Buffalo Bill, it will be remembered, was chosen as the , . - Guide to, the Grand Duke Alexis, in the great hunt and chase which the son of the Czar enjoyed on the Laramie Plains, and which he pronounced to be the greatest sport he ever participated in. Many were the tokens of strong personal regard which :he bestowed upon Buffalo Bill for his watchful care, great skill as a hunter, sagacity as a guide and pow- er over the red-men and the rough characters of the Far West. Out of that brilliant hunt we expect the guide to frame us a story that Will be a fine companion-piece to this i ' TRUEROKANGE OF THE WILD WEST! Sunshine; Papers. ‘ A Whifl‘ from the Shore. “ THE woman who deliberates is lost.” The skies were leaden, the rain poured Steadily and ceaselessly upon the leaf-streWn earth, the wind moaned dismally through the writhing willows and beat the dark, foam- rimmed waves angrily to and fro on the sands and against the dank, cheerless piers. And so we were all huddled in the hotel parlors, wraps about our shoulders and shivers‘about us everywhere, when we glanced at the dreary prospect without. It seemed that three months had dropped out of the calendar, and we had drifted from July straight into November. In the midst of the general discomfort, books and novels, and cards and yawns, were plenti- ful; and from ovor a card table, laughineg quoted, sounded distinctly through the chat- ter of many voices Addison’s famous axiom: “ Thewoman who deliberates is lost.” It came to me with a strange power and im~ port, that nothing in the tens or connection in which the words had been said gave it. A meaning wholly new and significant. One sees so much if ‘ one’s eyes are open, and one hears so much if one’s ears are not closed, in the flutter, and whirl, and fashion, and glitter, and folly, and sin, of life in these summer re- sorts. They are very pleasant, very gay, very enjoyable. But oh, mothers, if you have control of your daughters—fathers, if you have influence with your sons, keep them gathered in some quiet home circle where the influences shall be all strengthening, purifying, refining. Do not let them come, to be familiar with disgraceful intrigues, with thinlywailed improprieties, with wine-room carousals and cold—blooded dissections of repu- tations. Keep them out of the insatiate tide of meaningless flattery and idle flirtation, of the cold waves of hollow fashion that drown every heart-true impulse, of the mocking, Woe— ful seaof gold that gives its treasures only to those who sell their lives and perjure their souls at the altars. Keep them away from all this, if you can. If they must 'some day be actors in this Vanity Fair, teach them first to speak an honest, brave, unhesitating negative to all that impresses their first free and natural impulses as dishonorable, cowardly, impure, untrue. , ’ ‘ “ The woman who deliberates is lost.” Over anchor and bezique, over my dinner and when I sought to sleep, the thoughtlessly' quoted words haunted me. Oh! mothers and daugh- ters, I thought, if one would teach and the other learn to say a frank, firm no! I ' ‘Say no, girls, and refuse to listen when men pour idle nonsense into your ears, calling for as idle reply and deadening your sensibilities to’ an appreciation of the beautiful tenderness and loyalty of true love, when some heart shall *bum its incense of true love at your shrine. Say no, and turn firmly away, when men whose lives you know are stained with excesses and license ask you togive yourself to their embrace for a dance, to lean On their arm for a promenade, ‘to accept a seat in their carriage. *Wh’at right have these men to he smiled at, and potted, and sought, and allowed the society of ‘sweet young maidens, and courted, with absolution ‘from their vices, in circles where " honest, manly worth, without a golden key, can find no open sesame? Take the matter in your own hands, girls of America! You who are free to make your own choices, should lead your sisterhood of all us.- tions by womanly loyalty to your privileges. Hold your standard high. Say to men you cannot waste your lives in riotous living—you cannot commit sins nor keep t 9 company of the dissolute—you cannot regard our sex cyni- cally and help to thrust some to a level lower for knowledge of you, and then hope to come and gather in your profaned handsits sweetest flowers. It is time that the young women of our land refuse to weigh a man’s handsome face, or social position, or long bank account, against his misdeeds. Let honest work, and true nobility, though paupers in dollars and cents, be winners of the good and pure; and womanhood will gain a brighter luster, and manhood will strive to reach a higher goal. Say no, girls, when you are asked to discuss false theories and listen to loosely liberal views of social questions. Say no to any proposed alliance where the heart is not the prime fac- tor in the demonstration. Say no to every whisper of disloyalty, and temptation to ques- tionable companionship, Make the rule of your life a resolve to answer a prompt and earnest no to all things unworthy true woman- liness, that in days to come no saddening, sickening reflections concerning the loose views and soullessness of our sex shall be forced on ever so keen observers of the lives that win in soul, heart, and gold races. A PARSoN’s DAUGHTER. IF. WE think that, if we had this, or only could do that, we should be perfectly happy and con— tented; we should never grumble again; our cup of joy would be so full we shOuld never murmur more; but if our oft times foolish wishes were gratified the reverse would be the case. r If we had fifty thousand dollars we would crave more,'and be extremely dissatisfied be- cause we Couldn’t get it. If we only had money we think we would do the greatest good with it; "we would benefit churches, asylums and schools with'it, and such a revolution and re- formation‘ as our money would make in the world would cause nations to stand aghast! Would we do all this if the money were real- ly and truly in our possession? It doesn’t seem to me as if such really would bethe case. More likely we would sit by the fire, and growl be- cause it wasn’t more, or because We were fear- ful it wouldn’t last us through all our lives. We’d think that. we only had sufficient for our own comfort, and couldn’t spare any for char- ity. We would leave others to look after the needy. It is easy enough to give away money, in thought, when we are not in possession of it, but the realityis not quite so pleasant. The money once ours, we have multitudinous ways to dispose of it. We discover uses for it which we never thought of when we had it not. Now, if we Could do without these things when we were poor, couldn’t we contrive to do without them when we grow richl, _ . When our friends: turn from us, we take it deeply to heart, and We think if we had been less petulant with them and put up with their foibles, we might have kept them with us. ,, If We hadn’t said so many harsh things to them, and of them, we might still possess their friend- ship and their love. While weare brooding over these things, we are treatmg those friends who are left to us in the same way we treated those who have left us. We try by no means to win back those who are estranged, and we do not endeavor to keep the friends we have. We pine because others have left us, and we are not thankful for the ones that are spared. Well, we are an inconsistent, foolish set of hu- man beings, anyway, and' it is timewve came to our senses. ' You needn’t say you don't care because your Johnny has jilted you for some one else, for I know you’re not speaking the truth, or you wouldn’t keep awake half the night, sobbing and moaning and remarking that “ There isno trust in mankind.” ‘ " It always strikes me that that last remark is a very foolish one, or that some people, who utter it, are very foolish, because hundreds are perfectly willing to -test that trust. I guess it must be human nature, or the girls would not dare to approach the male sex as they do. I’ve lost all faith in these creatures, who are so fearfully broken-hearted and crack-brained, be- cause Polly or Sammy has “ gone back on them,” for I have invariably noticed that their grief wasn’t eternal, and that they were per- fectly willing—almost too willing——to put trust in the next Polly or Sammy who ‘came along. “ If we were only dead and away from all the blight, sin and misery of this world, we’d be much better off,” is a plaint you’ll often hear. I don’t think such speeches are pleasant to lis- ten to, or for any one to give utterance to, and it would be serving the speakers right if you boxed his or her ears, because it is a most hypocritical speech. You know very well that these speakers are the most frightened of all individuals if they are laid on a bed of sick- ness, for fear they will die. What dissatisfied creatures they are! They are continually wishing they were dead, and yet they don’t want to die! What they do want, I should like to be informed. ‘ We think it extremely silly when we hear children wish they were grown up and could be “ big fol ,” yet all the while we forget how much more childish and silly are our wishes. A child could be excused on account of its youth and ignorance of the experience which we, who are older and who ought to be more Wise, have. for us, but we do not seem to view matters in that light: ‘ “If” his little word, but it seems to come extremely handy to hosts of people, bythe fre- quent use they make of it. ' Oh, yes, if we had the powérvve would ac- complish so. much! ' I don’t know but we’d move mountains and become miracles of good- ness; yet it is amost peculiar circumstance that we make but poor use of'the‘ power We are of. I p j ’ ' ‘I Don’t you know the” eld'adage, “ If wishes were horses, beggars might ride, ” and I think it a very good idea that some of the foolish There isn’t any such excuse ' just as foolish ‘wishes myself sometimes, but when I come'to think over them calmly, I feel very well contented with my lot in life, and am thankful for being as comfortable as I am. If it‘ is’bette’r for us to be better off, he assured we will“ be so; although vain wishes will not bring the coveted fortune. r Eva LAWLESS. m ‘ Fonlscap :Papers. ,White’horu’s 'Motor. , V WHEN I say this is an age 'of invention, the assertion is not an invention. By-and-by everybody will have a cast-iron man that will do hiswalking, sleeping, eating and breathing for him, and bench. haveuall his time to at. tend to other people’sbusiness and thrive. The secrets of mechanicsmust be revealed. I have discovered very manyof them myself, though I have got the credit fer but few; but it douft matter; I live for humanity. I was the first one to demonstrate the fact that if a round log be taken to the top of a hill and let go, it will roll to 'the bottom. This greatdiscovery has been so well proven since that there is no doubt about it. It is a dis- covery of great service, but they have never seen fit to knight me yet, and I have lost me- ney by letting the secret out. ; ‘ I was the inventor of the corkscrew, and must say that I have the blessings of all per— sons who can afford to use them. A great deal has been said about the Keeley Motor, which is destined to revolutionize the motive power of the age. But let me whisper in your side-ear the fact that I was the one to discover this same thing, of making one bucket of water lift a whole reservoir, many years ago, when I had no neighbors, and had nothing else to do but to look into my own affairs to pass away time. The engine which I constructed was called the Whitehorn Pro-Motor. It took seven years of hard study, because I was working against one of the fundamental principles of nature, and of course all natural laws had to be re- modeled before I could begin. Every difliculty was overcome, and the ma- chine was a success—one of the most success- ful successes that ever succeeded in-any suc— ceeding'age. Fifty thousand dollars I expended in its con- struction, and the matter was kept a profound secret. I built the engine. in a barn, and the whole inside was One mass of endless ma- chinery. . ~ . One drop of water would produce a force of four hundred thousand ' pounds, though the machine was a little ,too' large for practical use in the kitchen for peeling. potatoes or shelling peas. ‘ . My venerated mother—in-law got into the barn one day and discovered the engine, but accidentally teaching a wrong spring, she was blown away with a force of forty thousand pounds to’the square inch. - A " Nothing was found of her, not even her will. It troubled me a great deal at the time, and we hunted everywhere, but she was gone. A small hole in the roof was very suspicious, and it is supposed she went on her-é upward way bodily. . I was sorry, because I never could hope to get another mother-imlaw, and it seemed to be too bad. You don’t get a new mother—in—law every once in awhile in this country any more. ' This? Pro-Motor was so powerful that it could raise—Well, it «could raise potatoes with- out straining itself. _ ,It could go to work and with forty thousand pounds pressure could raise ;a hurricane. = 80 great was its lifting power that it lifted a note cf mine for one hundred dollars which the holder of it said no power in, the world could raiser He had long ‘ given up all hopes of any kind of a machine raising it. ' ‘ F » As the machine was rather large to ‘be portable, I made small models of it for con- venience in carrying in the vest-pocket, and everybody could carry one. I - - Whenever gjife—iusmanoeagent came in to talk to me in an interesting conversation re— markable for purity ,of style and fluency, con~ cerm‘ng new ratee‘and improved‘plans, all I had to do was to apply this Pro Motor to him, and he went out of the Infant decriaud through several opposite buildings, and they couldn’t findfenough of him to pin his name» on. ' One: drop of water would generate power enough incompletely overturn the State Legis- lative proceedings. But a little whisky pro- ;duced a force equal to the, combined power of sixteen thousand horses, four thousand mules, three thousand cats, two thousand rats, fifteen hundred spiders, one fthousand bedbugs, and nine hundred fleas. Oh, but it was a power. ful agent! , L I 5' It could compel a man to fork over any lit- tle bill he owed you, no matter how fast it may have/grown—sstuck by the mucilage of many ages. ' ‘ ‘ It wastthe' only machine I ever knew that could raise thunder without breaking a trace. I put one of them under the sill of my neighbor‘s house one night, .and' it turned it over so easily that he didn’t know of it until he woke up in the morning and found himself standing on his head. ~ ' r Crossing the Atlantic once, I applied a pocket Pro-Motor to thesteamship, pnlmown to anybody, and she went so fast that the friction on-the waves was so much that they took fire, and as far back as you could see ran one long wake of flame. All was consterna‘ tion on board; the stars and moon and sun flew by like sky—rockets. Everybody thought we were going to the d~estination rather rapidly. I never let on. . » It is the only thing that I know of in this world that will remove mountains or come, and is the only thing strong enough to get up and carry itself off. ' ' Homes or locomotives have no more busi- ness in this country. The only trouble of it is that the power is much too strong fora man to manage. No one ever knew before just what the capabili— ties of a little drop of water were, and how it can be developed. You see I havehad a good deal to do With water—in a scientific way. Yes, I was several years ahead of Keeley, but I never said anything about it. Beware of imitations. . . Wssumurou WHITEBOBN. Tar: way to be" righted yourself, is to be careful not to wrong others.

It is seven or eight years of age, and goes a-fisbing for its meals. It will stand in water up to its thighs and seize small fish and eels. Some of the latter have been twenty inches long. The achievement of this cat was the capture, recent- ly, of a fish weighing three pounds. The animal cornered the fish in shallow water and then push- ed it ashore. Fish stories are at adiscount after this. The next we‘ll hear of that cat she‘ll be playing cat-char in a baseball match.

Congress really has nothing to do with the, mat. ter except that it made money cheap, as a .“ war necessity," and as a consequence, everybody lived far beyond their means ;, we spent more than we earned; we overtraded with Europe; we ran deeply in debt abroad and at home; we “ built castles in Spain ;” hence, when the bub~ ble burst with Jay Cooke‘s failure, and firm after firm went downwith a smashlikc the falling in of a shell building—an utter ruin—we awoke from a fever-dream to a realizing sense that infla- tion and cheap money were no more healthy to the body politic than too much whisky to the body personal.

But, if she‘has shown ‘such a di osi- tion, it would, be well for ' you to consider wel be- fore you marry‘ her, even it she consent.
